Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids scientists have proven that odd-parity super conduction does exist when magnetic fields are applied in certain directions. *Stay with this post a minute for clarity, its worth it. Superconductivity is a fascinating state of matter in which an electrical current can flow without any resistance. Usually, […]

Researchers at St John’s College, University of Cambridge designed devices made of readily available oxide and carbon-based materials that can produce clean hydrogen from water over weeks. The findings could help overcome one of the key issues in solar fuel production, where current earth-abundant light-absorbing materials are limited through either their performance or stability. The […]

Both MIT and CalTech have press releases out explaining research that could increase wind turbine output by more than 1% up to 3%. The new technology is based on an algorithm that forces individual turbines to coordinate with the others thus boosting the total output. The new approach models the wind flow of the entire […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… New research led by the University of Pittsburgh unveiled the atomic-scale friction of a single tungsten asperity, or rough edge, in real time, showing atomic motion for the first time using electron microscopy. For machines with mechanical elements, friction is an unavoidable enemy. It is a major source of service failure and can reduce […]

A Hokkaido University team has found a thermoelectric metal oxide film with a thermoelectric figure of merit of ~0.55 at 600° C, opening new avenues towards the widespread use of thermoelectric converters. The team led by Professor Hiromichi Ohta at the Research Institute for Electronic Science at Hokkaido University synthesized a barium cobalt oxide thermoelectric […]
